Mike spoke at the Tustin Library about building and using his robots, to an audience mixed with kids and adults of all ages. He encourages the audience to persevere while pursuing their passions and then share their discoveries with others who have similar interests. After the presentation and Q&A, audience members may come forward to get photographs with the robots.

CHOC Visit

WALL-E visited pediatric patients at CHOC (Children's Hospital Orange County). Here's some photos taken in the lobby before his rounds on the patient floors. WALL-E rolled up to the bedside of a blind patient so he could touch WALL-E's head and hold WALL-E's cockroach friend, Hal, as his mom described how they look. It's always cool to brighten the day for these kids and their families.

WonderCon Anaheim 2015

Eve, although still a work in progress, appeared alongside WALL-E at WonderCon on Saturday, as part of the R2 Builders booth. Crowds were huge this year, and they enjoyed watching Eve's eyes blinking and hearing her say her name and "Directive?"

Here's a tested.com interview from the event, where you can see Eve in action:
